Jobs in the pipeline at Welsh medical device manufacturer following Government investment

A Welsh manufacturer of medical devices has revealed plans to create 39 jobs and safeguard a further 50 following an investment from the Welsh government, a recent news report has been able to suggest.

Zimmer Biomet plans to invest £2.5m in its Bridgend site and has secured £700,000 of finance from the Welsh Government. The company will create a European Centre of Excellence for porous coating technology, used in the manufacture of orthopaedic implants.

The Bridgend site and the company’s headquarters in Warsaw, Indiana, are the only two porous coating facilities within the company. The Welsh Government’s backing ensured the expansion took place in Wales.

Robin Barney, Zimmer Biomet’s senior vice president for global operations and logistics, commented: "Zimmer Biomet is proud of its operations in Bridgend. It remains an important component of the company’s global operations."

Zimmer Biomet, which is a Welsh Government anchor company, employs more than 800 staff at the Waterton Industrial Estate in Bridgend where it makes a range of hip and knee replacement products that are exported globally.
